1 (大衛的 詩,交與伶長。)耶和華啊,你忘記我 要到 幾時呢?要到永遠嗎?你掩 面 不顧我 要到 幾時呢?

2 我心裡 籌 算,終日 愁苦,要到 幾時呢?我的仇敵 升高 壓制我,要到 幾時呢?

3 耶和華─我的 神啊,求你看顧我,應允我!使我眼目 光明,免得 我沉睡 至死;

4 免得 我的仇敵 說:我勝了他;免得我的敵人 在我搖動 的時候 喜樂。

5 但我 倚靠 你的慈愛;我的心 因你的救恩 快樂。

6 我要向耶和華 歌唱,因 他用厚恩 待我。

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the psalmist's complaint in Psalms 13?
He repeatedly asks 'how long' — how long God will forget him, hide his face, and let his enemy be exalted over him (v.1-2).
How does Psalms 13 shift in tone by its end?
Though it opens in despair, it turns to trust by verse 5, with the psalmist saying his heart 'shall rejoice in thy salvation' and promising to sing to the LORD for his goodness (v.5-6).
What does the psalmist ask God for in Psalms 13:3?
He asks God to 'lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death' (v.3), fearing his enemy will boast of prevailing over him if help doesn't come — a shift from lament to confidence similar to Isaiah 12:2.
